New York at the opening of the battle.

gram congratulating him upon the
manner In which ho had conducted the
Santiago blockade.

son, Admiral Schley has said that ho
wasn't given the code for communica
tion with the Cuban insurgents, al
though he asked whether there was
such a means of communication; that
Sampson didn't tell him that it would
be proper for American ships to bo
exposed to shore batteries in an effort
to destroy Spanish vessels of military
Importance and that a dispatch writ
ten by Sampson on May 27, stating
positively that Cerveia's fleet was In
Santiago wasn't delivered to Schley
until Juno 10.
Since he has been on the stand
the Admiral has contradicted to a
greater or less extent, tho testimony of
the following witnesses: Rear Ad
miral Taylor, Captain McCalia, Cap
tain Folger, Captain Slgsuce, Captain
Cotton, Lieutenant Commander Hodg

Wood, and Major Wood.
